Only Norwegian companies can register no-domains. ICANN accredited registrar Secura has a special offer for foreign companies, which have not settlement in Norway:
A Norwegian trustee registers the no-domain for the customeer and Secura confirms in a letter that the customer is the owner of the no-domain.
A no-domain is much more inexpensive than a settlement in Norway. A growing number of user say therefore yes to .no.
The growth in domain names has been formidable also in Norway. After passing 1000 registered .no domain names in 1995, the curve rose abruptly, and it took only two years to increase the number of domain names from 400,000 in September 2008 to 500,000 today. Norway is one of the top level domains in Europe that has the highest number of domain names per citizen.
